Welcome to my world

Who is this guy John R. Platt? Well, you might know me best as a journalist, perhaps from my environmental reporting (especially my coverage of endangered species), or my writing about technology careers, or my articles about comic books and other fun, creative stuff.

Or you could know me for my creative writing. My short stories, essays and poetry have been published in more than 100 anthologies, magazines and websites on four continents.

Still not it? Well, maybe you know me from my editorial work—I’m at the helm of The Revelator, an environmental news site—or from my cartooning, my photography, my volunteer work, or just from bumping into me somewhere.

Feel free to explore this site for details on all (or at least most) of the above.
